OKC in 5. I really believe Lakers/Mavs was more about the Lakers being bad than the Mavericks being good. Hate to sound like a bad sport, but I see it that way. There was no sign of them being this good against the Trailblazers.

Can't wait for this game...To be honest, I'm not necessarily rooting "against" Dallas - If they win, good for them, but at the same time, I think a lot of people are overlooking the fact that Dallas shoots so many three's, and that they can potentially shoot themselves out of games. It obviously worked for them against us, but I honestly think that it'll be tough to keep it up for 1 or 2 more series, and I'm surprised that more people aren't bringing up their volume 3-point shooting as something that could potentially be detrimental to their chances.

Dallas has no one to guard Westbrook and Durant, and OKC has no one to guard Dirk (although I think Ibaka's athleticism could be effective, as well as Nick Collison's hustle and grit, which was at times effective against Randolph). X-factors will be Barea and Terry, as well as if Peja can keep up his 3-point shooting - For OKC, their X-Factor's will be Harden and Ibaka.
